Snow Announces 2013 Recruiting Class

"I am very excited about this year's signing class," Snow said. "We are adding 11 quality players to our program. Many of these girls will come in right away and compete for a starting position."

GSW lost seven players to graduation from the 2012 season, including starting goalkeeper Amber Bahri.

"We lost a good group of seniors but I have no doubts that our new class will bring the same quality that we lost," Snow remarked.

The class consists of ten student athletes hailing from the state of Georgia.

"A majority of these young women have played in big time games, either with their club teams or with their high schools. Each has their own distinct leadership quality and they will fit in well with the group that we have returning." Snow said. "They are all good students and are actively involved in their communities. All-around, they are a great fit for our women's soccer program and for Georgia Southwestern."
